"Whenever I have faced a setback I have dusted myself down and got on with the rest of my life because I believed in myself."
"People are always going to go shopping. A lot of our effort is just: 'How do we make the retail experience a great one?"
"I am brave, but I take a view. It is an educated view. I am careful. I am not reckless."
